To The Editor: Just a quick note of thanks to the City of Hendersonville powers that be.

Truly enjoyed my afternoon downtown yesterday, eating outside in the beautiful weather and reconnecting with my out of town guests who had driven from Knoxville to see me. They didn’t even seem to mind the screaming over the jackhammers as the city workers hammered away in the background.

Really, it was such a terrific mood setter, it took me a while to remember it was my tax money being used to pay for all that audible beauty. And really, summer is the perfect time of year for another crosswalk project.

I enjoyed it so much, I thought perhaps their next planning session can be at a similar location. Might do wonders towards teaching those making these decisions the concept of “long term planning.” Just bring your megaphones.
